Forms Of Water Pollution Include Industrial, Natural, Human And Agricultural

Different forms of water pollution come from four main sources Industry

, Agriculture, human beings and animals and Nature its self.

Some pollutants come from industrial waste. Like lead, mercury and chromium -- these are know as 'heavy metal' pollutants.

Rain run off carries agricultural waste like herbicides, fertilizers, pesticides into the water system. The chemicals encourage the growth of certain types of algaes which can deplete water of its oxygen and destroy aquatic life.

Human and animal waste is one of the most significant forms of water pollution and dangerous bacteria in water has been a problem for centuries. Diseases like typhoid fever and cholera are waterborne and deadly.

People began adding chlorine (a toxic disinfectant) to the drinking water system. Very effective in killing off these deadly bacteria and it produced a spectacular reduction in illness and death. But records show a massive increase in cancers and heart disease beginning at the same time as this procedure was started. Coincidence?

Other forms of water pollution happen when Volcanoes erupt spewing ash, heavy metals, toxic gases (sulfur dioxide can combine with water vapor to form -- Sulfuric Acid). Large storms, floods, droughts -- any or all of these can lead to forms of water pollution. We all remember the deadly toxic brew in the streets of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.

One of the most insidious forms of water pollution is pharmaceutical chemicals. Every day all over the world people dump left over medication down the drain. Excess Medications that totally pass through humans and animals wind up in the water system. The hormones from birth control pills are showing up in the watershed.

Science is only now beginning to understand the impact of these discarded drugs on the environment and animal life in the water.

With all these forms of water pollution it's easy to see why people are concerned about the water they drink.

Big business has parlayed those fears into a massive marketing push for bottled water. The hype surrounding this stuff is almost manic and the reality is most bottled water is no better than tap water. In fact independent testing has proven -- in the majority of cases the tap water was superior to bottled water. Add in the fact that all those plastic bottles are quickly accumulating in land fills everywhere and you have quite the exercise in futility.

Now many governments (local, state and federal) are now considering a a ban on bottled water in government facilities!

Professional health care workers are advising we increase our intake of water. The Media is rife with scare stories involving all these forms of of water pollution. When we grab the bottled water we are chastised for adding to the pollution problem!!

It is totally confusing! What the heck is the truth?!

Most water experts agree that the "two-stage carbon filtration system" is the best system to cleanse and purify tap water. But not all two-stage carbon filtration systems work equally as well.

The best selling tap water filtration system only removes 70% of the chlorine. Meaning it leaves behind 30%! And more people buy this than any other in the world!

Fortunately for us -- the government demands any claims for water cleanliness must be backed up and proven with independent research.

Manufacturers must tell you the truth as to how well their product works at purifying tap water.

This makes it straight forward and simple to do your own research and find the water filtration system that will protect you and your family from all forms of water pollution.
